I guess the best way to characterize the social upheaval of the 60's is to say it was a natural, or organic response to legitimate racial oppression and a really fricked up war. Also, it was all domestic, it was American. They were protesting American issues, not foreign.

And it wasn't long after that this country realized the so called "commie" protesters were right on both counts.

Now my mother was in College at Vassar at the time and I asked her during the Floyd riots which was worse. The riots and upheaval of her time or now. She said now is far worse than what was going on in the 60's.

All this bullshite we're currently witnessing is an odd mix of real, undefined fear over the power of the Jewish state and ginned up, manufactured fake outrage. It's hard to tease out what's real from what's fake but I've got concerns over Israeli/Jewish influence in global and American policy as well. The Left is just doing a really poor job of articulating it.

It's as if they want to hide their fear of Jewish power in the lie of Palestinian oppression. If they would just come out and say Look, American Right. We here on the Left are concerned about all this Jewish shite stirring as well. Then maybe we all could find some common ground here.

If Israel has its way and it looks like they will. Then we'll be balls deep in another Middle Eastern corporate war. Consider the possibility there are aspects of these protests we can all get behind.

And no, I'm not antisemitic, but I am distrustful of the origins of all this as well as Israel's motives.

The United States would be better off letting Israel handle their business rather than saying peace fire. Give them financial backing like they have given to Ukraine. You back off now, you will still have Hamas running wild over that territory. War is hell, but sometimes it's warranted/justified. What if the United States went to war to protect our land and way of living? What if we went to war with another country in the future and you have a direct threat that you may be killed. Will you ask for a cease fire then? It doesn't work that way.

No they weren’t. They were right on civil rights, but they were wrong on the Vietnam War.

That war was a necessity. We should have fought that war harder and more viciously, and we would have won decisively if we had. Instead, the protestors handicapped our war effort and we ended up pulling out of Vietnam and subjecting those poor people to a soul-crushing, immiserating communism.

Further, the USSR was experiencing huge success by destabilizing countries around the world and flipping them to communism. America had to stop that or we would have found ourselves impoverished due to a lack of trading partners.
